Toshiba Phone System

Can you use your VOIP service remotely from outside landline?

I have a small business and my field workers sometimes need to make long distance calls within the US. We have broadband connection with 2 VOIP companies, Vonage and OptimumVoice. Both of these carriers already offer us unlimited long distance within the US. For my field workers some locations they visit dont have either phones or don't have long distance service. Im asking if there is a way they can remotely connect to our office broadband VOIPs service and use the long distance service from there? Almost like a calling card system but its running off our current broadband VOIP services. Is this possible??

1. To best answer your question, I would need to know what communications means do they have with them? If they don't have access to landlines, then do they have cell phones? More importantly, do they have access to broadband Internet? Do they have laptops with access to broadband Internet? One VoiP service I like using is CallCentric. Here is why: They have Calling Card gateways that allow you to access their VoIP network from regular phones or cells. All calls through their "local" gateways are only charged at 1.98¢/min. http://www.cqvoip.com They are only pay-as-you-go service and no contracts. So it is cheap to use. If your guys have broadband access while traveling, then they could carry a VoIP ATA and have plug and play phone service with the ATA. I use the Linksys SPA2102-NA. I self-configured it for CallCentric. It has a built-in router. So, it can directly plug into any broadband Modem and provide phone service to the VoIP service configured into the box. If your guys carry laptops with broadband access, then CallCentric provides a free downloadable Softphone that runs on a PC. They can make calls direct from a PC with headset w/mic.
